Delilah’s, our art & gift gallery on Main Street, took part in a Halloween event for the kids Saturday night. Rebecca came in dressed in a beautiful red mask to help me that evening. (She and her husband have Fox Hill Pottery and they show beautiful work that you can see at Delilah’s.) I dressed as Kelly of Delilah’s, the all-seeing fortune-teller, and decided to break out the tarot card and tell the kids fortunes.
You can see me here telling one witch her fortune while others wait in line. (Look how serious we are!)
And a long line it was. It snaked into the shop where the fortune-teller was waiting with the tarot deck . And it went out the door…..

….and in front of the shop on the sidewalk……
……and down the street. It seemed that it got longer and longer. We couldn’t believe how successful our little fortune-telling operation was. We gave out 600 pieces of candy and that was pretty much one per child.
I’m pretty sure that I told 300 hundred fortunes or more. I was amazed how many wanted their fortune told and how they listened so intently to what I told them. I really tried not to traumatize any kids. I was the kind of fortune-teller that everyone wants to visit. Only “good” fortunes here! Besides, I didn’t want the kids to have to get years of therapy to recover from the fortune they were told on the Halloween of 2009 on Main Street in Front Royal. 🙂
And after they got their fortune, they, of course, got their treat!
The good news is that they all enjoyed it and no tricks were played.
Maybe the fortune-teller will come back and tell fortunes again. You just never know….
